Unless you turn it in in person or to an online service like turn it in and you also don't use Google docs then ya this will work.

@devearl Pretty sure you can corrupt that too. Or make a script that creates a MB of random bytes.

I don't know, if I'm the teacher, I'll fail the student for not knowing how to properly send a word file via email.

OP surely did some serious scavenging to bring up this one back. This image is probably around 10 years old or more.

Did that back in the days but with a PDF, same principle just delete the first few lines and it gets corrupted. The funny bit is that I never heard a feedback from the teacher.

@Spark probably yes, there's a lot of libraries for each language to generate a PDF.
for example:
- Go: gopdf
- Ruby: prown or pdf-write?
- Python: literally none
- C#: PDFSharp
and there's even more for each language!
